Just discovered your blog. Love your cookies so much. Like Wenderly, I grew up with these Currier and Ives plates too! My grandfather worked at A & P grocery store, and they collected these plates one by one as they bought their groceries each week and received the plate offered as a special collectors item each week. My grandmother used hers for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners only, and she left them to me. I use mine everyday to remind me of my wonderful grandparents.

Great idea...writing on cookies might be good for baby showers etc too....Valentines....can you share the brand of food pen you use...the ones I got are rather weak....yours looks like it has strong color....Thanks...heading to Galveston for the holidays to get out of the Kansas City cold...will wave at you as I go by on 45...lol
